A goal from defender Petar Filipovic (22nd) and plenty of good shooting opportunities weren’t enough for LASK to win its sixth competitive game. Hartberg, whose tie came out of nowhere thanks to Felix Luckeneder (53rd), has to look forward to a real “break”, but moved a little closer to the top half of the table as a new ninth with seven points.
LASK coach Dominik Thalhammer relied on Mads Emil Madsen in midfield for the first time from the start. Veteran James Holland only sat on the bench after illness, Lukas Grgic is currently absent due to a calf injury.
Tie between LASK and Hartberg
There was a point split in the game between Hartberg and LASK. The two teams split 1: 1.
LASK dominates in Hartberg
The first half became something of a solo performance for LASK, who had about 70 percent possession. That also created opportunities. A Reinhold Ranftls volley whistled past the goal (6th), Rene Renner also missed the area from a few meters after a nice deflected ball over the last line of Hartberg (9th), then Andreas Gruber aimed from a very acute angle ( twenty ). A banner then broke Linzers’ spell: Gruber extended a corner of Peter Michorl’s head, Filipovic nodded from a few yards.
The defensive-oriented home team brought almost no offensive actions, the LASK nipped the efforts in the bud, respectively, mainly in the Hartberg half and practiced the combination. Mention may only be made of a harmless shot by Rajko Rep directly into the arms of Alexander Schlager (9th).
The LASK was solely responsible for the breakdown not being major. Rene Swete stopped a free kick from Michorl (26th), as well as a Köpfler Gernot Trauners (34th), Ranftl shot over the gate (37th). There were also several dangerous actions in the penalty area by the “athletes”.
Luckeneder calls after a break
The second half began with a great opportunity from LASK forward Johannes Eggestein (47th), and yet the surprise happened: goalkeeper Dario Tadic, who had been substituted at half-time, took a corner, which Sascha Horvath kicked with his head Luckeneder made it 1-1 I found the door. The Styrians were now much braver and made their way into the game. Eggestein was unlucky in the fifth (62nd), instead Trauner headed to his own crossbar after a free kick, Luckeneder forgave on the follow-up with his head (67th).
In any case, LASK’s oppressive dominance was gone, the game at least somewhat open. Linz’s team continued to be more dangerous, especially in the last quarter of an hour: Christian Klem had to clear the line with a shot from Ranftl (75th), at the goal substitute Thomas Goiginger passed Swete (86th) and Ranftl fired the door (94) with the final whistle.
Voices for the game:
Markus Schopp (Coach Hartberg): “Unlike the last few weeks, today we gave the opponent more space. We analyzed well during the break, we made it stronger in the second half, we drew and even had a 2-1 chance. In the end, as expected, LASK had the quality to turn up the pressure again. But I have to praise my defense. “
Dominik Thalhammer (LASK coach): “Of course we are very disappointed because we clearly controlled the game in the first half and left a lot behind. We really did a good job, we went at a fast pace, but we couldn’t take advantage of a multitude of opportunities. It’s a shame we didn’t get all three points, so we could have narrowed the gap to the top of the table even further. “
